factory. The times was when women came up there and tried to get money to
get him out. I have seen these books scattered all over the factory, whole
books and parts of books. I have seen them since this murder. Both before
and after. I have seen sheets sometimes. I knew that Jim could write. I
have given him and the other negroes tablets like (State's Exhibit H).
They are kept everywhere in the factory. They would go down in the base-
ment and write. I did not talk to Frank on Monday or Tuesday about Jim
Conley's peculiar conduct after the murder. I talked to Darley.

RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION.

When I stated that it took two and a half hours to three hours to make up
the financial sheet, I meant without any interruptions. We have quite a few
interruptions on Saturdays, salesmen drop in, draymen and people come in,
for their envelopes after we have paid off. When I said to Mr. Dorsey that
he might do the work from 8:30 to 10:30, I had reference purely to the finan-
cial sheet. Making the entries in the house order book, requisitions and dic-
tating the correspondence, I did not include. The correspondence and the
entries in the requisition book is usually done in the morning. We usually
go to Montag Brothers about 8:30, get the mail, come right back, acknowledge
the orders and answer the correspondence. I have never known Mr. Frank
to take up the financial sheet before the afternoon. After he finished his
financial, Mr. Frank would usually make two copies of the result of it, and
send one of them to his uncle, who is a stockholder and the other to Mr. Pap-
penheimer, who is the president. My estimate of the time was two and a half
hours for the financial sheet, and one and a half hours for the other work. Mr.
Dorsey's picture (State's Exhibit A) shows nothing in the Clarke Wooden-
ware Company except the front of it. It has left out every scuttle hole, and
toilet and everything there. It fails to show the door that enters into the
partition to the basement. Hasn't got either one of these two front doors.
Mr. Frank's wife frequently did some shorthand work for him on Saturday
afternoons. I have seen her there often when we were behind in our work.
The haskolene did not hide the red spots at all. You couldn't tell whether
it was on-top-or-on-bottom-of-the-red. It is nothing unusual for the white stuff
to be spilled all over the metal room. I did not know that Conley was deny-
ing that he could write in the station house, for quite a while. The Pinkerton
men came over to the factory to find out if he could. I looked all over and
found a card where he had signed a signature for a jeweler for a watch. The
detectives found the information by coming to the factory. The negroes
always ate in the basement. Conley was familiar with the basement. Mr.
Dorsey subpoenaed me to his office, he subpoenaed some of the others. I think
he phoned to me. Empty sacks are usually moved a few hours after they are
taken off the cotton.
